How to Make

  • TO MAKE THE COLESLAW

  • Step 1: Mix all the ingredients together in a medium bowl. Refrigerate.

  • TO MAKE THE FISH

  • Step 2: In a large saucepan, heat the vegetable oil over high heat until it reaches 350-degrees on a deep-fat thermometer. (A bread cube dropped into the oil will turn golden brown in 45 seconds.)

  • Step 3: Meanwhile, put the seltzer in a medium bowl. Add the fish and let soak for 10 minutes. Mix the flour and cracker crumbs in a small bowl.

  • Step 4: Without drying the fish, dredge it in the flour mixture and place on a plate until all the fish is coated.

  • Step 5: Fry in batches until golden brown, 2 - 3 minutes, turning once. Remove with a slotted spoon and drain on paper towels. Season with a sprinkle of Old Bay and salt and pepper to taste.

  • TO ASSEMBLE THE SANDWICH

  • Step 6: Place a tomato slice on each of the bottom halves of the toasted buns. Cover with the fish, top with the coleslaw, and serve.
